The Canadian politican Jack Layton died last week. He recently won a great political victory after many years of trying only to succumb to a reoccurance of his cancer. He wrote a letter to his supporters, to his family and friends and the Canadian people.
The last line of letter is worth pondering as we enter Elul and as we contemplate the state of the work
"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. "
